Paint used for the Wanderlodges of 1995 vintage.

[contrail Bob]

Any time I want to match paint, Coach, truck, boat, car etc I find a piece that
will come off such as Gas tank door, reefer vent cover etc and just take that to
a good paint house and they will shoot it with their color gun and then match it
with the exact color. Always works no problem. If you can't find a piece that
will come off just take the coach to them and they will shoot it in the street.
Works for me. Bob & Carol Howald

throughout the auto painting industry.

codes for my 94 was correct (white) and no one could match the rest with
anything on the market. Randy Dupree called a friend of his and he brought out a
kind of camera that analysis paint and gives you a match.

is I can't seem to find how to relate to the paint codes which were posted above
my dash approximately middle of the over head. Had to lay down on my back to
get the codes.Â
